The Covenant does not establish a specific marriageable age either for men or for women, but that age should be such as to enable each of the intending spouses to give his or her free and full personal consent in a form and under conditions prescribed by law.
Si bien el Pacto no establece una edad concreta para contraer matrimonio ni para el hombre ni para la mujer, dicha edad debe ser tal que pueda considerarse que los contrayentes han dado su libre y pleno consentimiento personal en las formas y condiciones prescritas por la ley.
